Emotional Toolkit Workshop - Ages 8-12

Helping kids navigate big feelings can be challenging—but they don’t have to do it alone! The PMFRC Mental Health Team invites children ages 5-7 and 8-12 from Military families to a fun, interactive workshop designed to help them build self-regulation skills with their own emotional toolkit to take home.

• Two Age Group options – Sessions tailored for ages 5-7 (with a parent/guardian) and ages 8-12. 

• Group-based learning in a welcoming, supportive environment. 

• Sessions led by a qualified mental health professional. 

• Hands-On Learning – Engaging activities using colors, worksheets, and interactive tools for kids to explore emotions in a positive way. 

• Take-Home Toolkit – A bag of personalized resources to help manage emotions at home.
